NBA: Starting with James Harden

.........................

"Fans, Li Zhen scored 20+ points off the bench in his first five games, including 20+10 in two games and 30 points in one game. There is no doubt that Li Zhen has performed far beyond his worth, and the Mavericks' $3 million is worth it."Coach Zhang said

"That's right. Even in a strong team like the Mavericks, Li Zhen can still get stable playing time, which shows that he has won the trust of the head coach. I'm afraid that Li Zhen will not be able to be brought in for 3 million next season."Coach Xu smiled.

"Yes, all of this is the result of Li Zhen's hard work. In tonight's game, the Atlanta Hawks are very strong at home. As the fourth team in the Eastern Conference, their strength is not much different from the Western Conference playoff teams. The Mavericks will definitely have a tough game in this game. I hope Li Zhen can still play well and help the team win the game on the bench."Coach Zhang said

"As the playoffs approach, every team has entered the stage of sprinting the rankings. All teams want to get the home advantage, so every game is very important. Okay, the timeout is over, Li Zhen is going to play, let's look forward to his performance today."Coach Xu said.

As Li Zhen shines in the NBA, the official media gradually gave up some of the Rockets and Yi Jianlian's games and temporarily bought the Mavericks' games for broadcast.

Li Zhen's influence in China is increasing day by day, and more and more fans are willing to watch his games.

After the timeout.

The Hawks also started to use substitutes.

Crawford replaced Bibby, and Joe Smith replaced Marvin Williams.

On the Mavericks side, Terry and Li Zhen replaced Kidd and Butler.

The Hawks' offense.

Terry is very short, and his defense is a sieve. Every time Li Zhen and Terry partnered up, Li Zhen went to defend the opponent. The strongest offensive guard.

So tonight, Crawford, who averages 18 points per game, was left to Li Zhen.

Crawford's dribbling is very coquettish, like streetball, and he is an All-Star when he plays crazy.

After a crossover, Crawford dived to the right side of Li Zhen.

It is difficult for Li Zhen to defend against superstars like Kobe, but it is not too difficult to follow Crawford in normal state.

Li Zhen moved sideways to block Crawford's forward path.

Crawford pulled back his crotch and made a quick stop jump shot. Li Zhen's secondary reaction blocked his face.

But this time he failed to stop his rhythm!

""Swish!"

15 to 27.

NBA stars are not the only ones who are hard to defend. Some substitutes are also hard to defend.

Li Zhen is one of them, and so is Crawford.

Haywood passed the ball to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen ran forward with the ball.

After Li Zhen's strong rise, Terry's tactics were weakened a lot, and his average points per game also dropped by 2 points.

But there is no way, Li Zhen's organizational ability, defensive ability, and physical talent are all better than Terry.

Carlisle is now more inclined to Li Zhen in tactical arrangements.

Terry ran to the corner to open up for Li Zhen, and Nowitzki stepped up to help Li Zhen cover.

Li Zhen dived past Crawford and attacked the Hawks' inside line at the same time.

Li Zhen's attacking posture was too realistic.

Josh and Crawford kept chasing Li Zhen

【[The King of Passing]

After Li Zhen attracted the defense, he passed the ball diagonally to Nowitzki who was jumping out after the pick-and-roll.

Nowitzki was in the open space!!

From the top of the arc, he fired a three-pointer!!

With the help of Li Zhen's skills, Nowitzki felt that his touch and rhythm were more perfect.

An arrow shot through the heart!!!

18 to 27

""That was a great pass." Nowitzki touched the back of Li Zhen's head affectionately.

Carlisle also clapped his hands on the sidelines, indicating that Li Zhen had made a good pass.

After receiving Kidd's guidance, Li Zhen's organizational ability has improved significantly. He knew that the Hawks' inside line put a lot of pressure on Nowitzki, so he took the initiative to help Nowitzki relieve the pressure.

"Fuck, you don't need to help defend, just follow your own man."Josh yelled at Crawford in dissatisfaction.

Josh thought it was Crawford's failure to switch defense with him after the pick-and-roll that led to the defensive error. Crawford looked innocent. Nowitzki is not yours, so why should he defend?

It's funny.

Although he was unhappy, Crawford did not argue with Josh.

The Hawks attacked.

Crawford passed the ball to Josh immediately after passing half court.

Josh is very domineering in the team and has a bad temper. If he doesn't give him the ball when he wants it, he will curse.

Crawford is more afraid of trouble and doesn't want to compete with him for the ball too much.

Josh dribbled the ball and pulled out with Nowitzki.

Crawford took the initiative to set a screen for Josh and took Nowitzki away.

Li Zhen defended Josh in a mismatch on the outside.

Looking at Josh, Li Zhen thought of Josh's characteristics in the scout report.

He likes to shoot three-pointers, but he is not accurate.....

This season, Josh averaged 16 points per game and had a 33.3% three-point shooting percentage.

Li Zhen remembered that this guy's three-point shooting percentage in the future would often be lower than 30%.

He is a big man who has no shooting talent but has a shooting mentality.

Li Zhen is more worried that Josh will rush over with the ball, and he can't defend against it. The weight difference is too big, and Li Zhen probably can only foul.

Li Zhen chose to take two steps and provoke:"Hey, big man, you shoot, let you shoot, don't be scared!"

Josh dribbled the ball and looked at Li Zhen's words, he felt a great humiliation.

Do you really think that I can't throw it?

Josh was very decisive. After one step of dribbling, he threw it outside the three-point line.

Hawks coach Woodson was furious when he saw this ball. The Hawks' advantage is in the interior. Now Josh not only doesn't play in the interior, but also pulls out to shoot three-pointers. How to play this?

Li Zhen saw Josh immediately turned around and rushed to the basket after shooting, and went back to help protect the frontcourt rebounds.

Sure enough, this ball missed.

Josh's three-pointer is unreliable.

Li Zhen's rebounding ability is acceptable���The level is up, with 60 points. Of course, these 60 points are very high for a guard, maybe not as good as Westbrook and Kidd, but there are not many guards who can surpass Li Zhen.

Li Zhen took the lead to protect the rebound in front of Joe John.

Rebound +1.

After getting the ball, Terry and Marion, who were running fast, both asked Li Zhen for the ball at the same time.

Li Zhen chose to pass the ball to Terry who was in a better position.

Terry's counterattack was very fast, one on 0 in the frontcourt, he took three steps and easily made a layup after receiving Li Zhen's pass.

20 to 27,

Li Zhen assists +1.

The second lineup led by Li Zhen suppressed the Hawks again

"Rookie, good pass." Terry gave Li Zhen a high five after receiving his assist.

"Your quick subconscious is great." Li Zhen boasted commercially.

Since the coach's tactical attention, Li Zhen could more or less feel the change in Terry's attitude towards him.

He didn't care, but Li Zhen didn't want to get on the edge of his seat with his teammates.

If there was a chance to give him a few assists, he would give him a few more. It didn't matter.................
